    Do you think that modern Ferrari's should also be red?
    In the last decade more Ferrari's are produced with non-red colours. What do you think?

    I like the classic cars mostly in silver.
    The 80's cars I like mostly in red.

    The 90's models and the later 430, SA and 612 are nice in different colors.
    The darker Grigio Metallic is nice on a lot of newer models.

    Just my 0,02.

    No, not at all. Red isn't necessarily the best color for a Ferrari. Take a 456 or 550 Maranello for instance. There are much better colors for those types than red.

    Yes, you are right and I was just kidding.
    We have had this discussion 999 times the las few years and its a never ending question.....all up to everyones personal taste.
    BTW, a F50 in yellow and an ENZo in black are breathtaking IMO.

    But (early) Testarossa's and 288GTO's need to be red.

    I think RED is true Ferrari color!!! ;)
    I think red is the only correct color for a Ferrari... except for those times I see a black Dino.... or a yellow Dino *LOL* Hmm sooo... It depends...

    But I think, red, yellow and black are the most beautifull colors for Ferraris.... I really don't think Ferrari when I see a blue metallic 360!! (sorry)

    You can clearly see that he has just handed me the keys. Finally he gave me the chance to drive his car! :)

    Enzo Ferrari didn´t like red for his personal Ferraris. Who I am to argue?

    Not at all... Why???

    Ferrari's can look beautiful in various colours... it's also a matter of personal taste...

    It's like asking... should all Mercedes be silver-grey, should all Jaguar's be green, should all Porsches be black,... the answer is no IMO... but it will always be an endless discussion...

    Off course it's true that red is a very important colour for Ferrari but that doesn't mean Ferrari's should always be red :)

    Don't think modern Ferrari's should all be red!
    Red is the Italian racing color! But the color of Ferrari/Maranello is actually yellow!! So you could also say: all Ferrari's should be yellow!!
    I really like yellow Ferrari's but after owning a yellow Coupé Fiat i don't think i'll buy another yellow car soon to be honest!

    It really is a personal taste!
    A 360 for example is IMO great in grigio titanio! a 550 in black is awesome! a TDF 355!!.....

    A 512 TR on the other hand must be red!!!! ;) :D

    Yes, a 512 TR must be red! But that is a different thread! :)
